Nick delves into “Dr. Beaman’s Office: Test Results,” one of the most bizarre sketches in “Saturday Night Live” history. Written by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell, and starring Ferrell alongside Molly Shannon, Chris Parnell, Rachel Dratch, and Tim Meadows as “Dr. Poop,” this sketch is analyzed in depth. Nick plays the entire sketch for listeners, provides insight into its creation, and shares the history of McKay and Ferrell’s partnership, including how they met. This collaboration between McKay and Ferrell has resulted in classic comedy films like the “Anchorman” series, “Step Brothers,” “The Other Guys,” and “Talladega Nights,” as well as the sketch comedy website “Funny Or Die” and some of the most memorable SNL sketches (such as Celebrity Jeopardy and Get Off The Shed). The episode reveals the behind-the-scenes story of why the actors, including Ferrell, broke character and laughed uncontrollably, contributing to the audience’s enjoyment. Highlighting one of the weirdest bits in SNL’s repertoire, this episode promises a fascinating look at a truly unique sketch. [Ep58]
